The 23 spacious and tastefully decorated rooms and bungalows are set on the beach side. We definitely recommend the stand alone chalets with private balconies over the more “standard” room. There are no in room TV’s or telephones etc, this is a place to truly relax and leave your worries behind you! All rooms have fans, refrigerators, tea and coffee making facilities and en-suite bathrooms with hot water. There is a TV in the main building as well as internet access should you require t...

Please let us know in advance if you have any special dietary requirements. To the rear of the lodge are well marked nature trails that can be done with your guide or, if you’re feeling adventurous, indepen...

The chalets are built on stilts and are both clean and spacious. The fan cooled (you don’t need air conditioning) standard chalets don’t have much in the way of facilities but realistically you will not be spending time in your room whilst here. Each room has a great balcony, many with views to the gently flowing nearby river, a great place to watch and listen to the surrounding jungles. The newer villas are quite simply superb, think private pools and butler service!

The restauran...

In addition to the cabins, Reine Rorbuer has one room and two apartments for rent. All cabin...

Local stone has been used in much of the construction – to the point that it looks like the hotel has organically sprung up itself rather than been developed. The jigsaw-piece-shaped pool meanders around several pre-existing trees and rock formations. There is nothing...

With its breathtaking landscapes and proximity to the northern city of Kiruna, Jukkasjärvi has always been a popular summer destination. However, back in 1989, inspired by the Japanese tradition of ice sculpting, villager Yngve Bergqvist set out to create a wintertime attraction. His ice sculpting workshop on the banks of the Torne River was an instant success. The following year saw the construction of Jukkasjärvi’s first ice structure, a 60 square metre igloo that served as an art galle...

Rooms are airy and spacious with categories to suite all types of guests, including families (a family villa and connecting rooms). In our opinion the Pilgrimage Village is a top choice hotel in the area. Yes, it is a distance from the town centre but to be honest there is very little reason to go in to Hue in the evenings and both the hotel restaurants are excellent. The quite location is a bonus as city centre hotels can be very noisy.

This is just one of the hotels that we recommend...

There is so much to admire about this secluded resort.

Water is purified onsite, and powers the hotel’s turbines; single...

Although we are yet to visit the ecolodge personally, our local partners in Vietnam have undertaken a full inspection and were extremely impressed with the room quality, service, facilities and overall experience that the property offers.

Note; there are steps in and around the re...

The individual stone-built lodges have been built by local craftsmen using in the main local materials. Each lodge uses solar technology for all the accommodation and hot water requirements as well as implementing a wastewater facility to avoid polluting the local area.

The 2 restaurants serve local, Vietnamese an...
